* Rarity Grade

A select
group of watches have been assigned a "rarity grade" which will appear in the
description heading. The total production number of U.S. made pocket watches
and vintage wristwatches are fairly well known and accessible, unlike the large
and more varied output of European makers and of early horological examples.
Therefore, this simplified 1 thru 10 numerical grade is designed to assist
collectors and investors in determining the scaricty of a given timepiece in
todays market (#1 is considered common to #10, which is an extremely rare item).

The following factors are the basis of
assigned rarity levels:

(a) Market availability, both past and
present.

(b) Technical quality and innovative
design.

(c) Historical importance.

(d) Condition in relationship to other
examples of similar type.

(e) Artistic case design, i.e. enamel,
unusual shape or form pieces.

(f) Low survival rate of similar types.

(g) Investment potential for increase in
demand and price.

A rarity grade will be assigned to
highlight items which offer strong investment potential (generally items of
level 5 thru 10). We hope this will assist you when making purchasing
descisioins, and we encourage you to call if more information or details are
needed. 1-800-424-5353.
